A Crag Guide gives an extensive view of all sub areas and climbs at a point in the index. It shows a snapshot of the index heirachy, up to 300 climbs (or areas) on a single web page. It shows selected comments climbers have made on a recently submitted ascent.
At a minor crag level this should be suitable for printing and taking with you on a climbing trip as an adjunct to your guidebook.

Lat / Long: -33.763811, 151.010006
description
The Frontline was the first area discovered and developed in the Balkans. It is the biggest area with about 150 individual problems ranging from V0- to V13. There are excellent problems of all grades and styles.
These cliffs and boulders are generally west and south-facing and receive plenty of afternoon sun so they are perfect for cold winter afternoons and hot summer mornings. In summer they can get very hot. The rock is fast drying and clean but beware of the crimps, some have broken with "interesting" consequences. Learn to pull gently and evenly on the holds and tread very carefully.
access issues
If you have benefited from climbing infrastructure in NSW, please consider making a donation towards maintenance costs. The Sydney Rockclimbing Club Rebolting Fund finances the replacement of old bolts on existing climbs and the maintenance of other hardware such as fixed ropes and anchors. The SRC purchases hardware, such as bolts and glue, and distributes them to volunteer rebolters across the state of New South Wales. For more information, including donation details, visit https://sydneyrockies.org.au/rebolting/
approach
Referring to the location map park 50m into Larra Cr. just off Mill Dr. North Rocks next to the Bush-Fire Brigade trailer. Walk down the chained-off driveway, saying hello to all the local barking dogs, and turn left when you hit the grass at the bottom. About 30m along there is a well worn path down the hill with a small creek on your right, follow this path for about 50m. When you hit the cliff-line turn left and scramble down wherever you please, this is the Frontline area (left side).
Alternatively, from the Trenches, go down the hill, cross the creek and then back up the hill. Make sure you stick to the established paths!
history
Most of the V0-2 walls, slabs and cracks in this area were climbed from the mid 70s long before pads, sticky rubber, chalk or the V scale, by schoolboys, scouts and others.
The Frontline was (re)discovered in early 1999 by Tim O'Neil and Rob Saunders. Over the next 6 months, with the help of Adam Griffiths and Matt Wilder, the core of about 150 problems were added with the highlights being 'Choppers', 'Toe to Toe', 'Milo and Kofi', 'Macedomeia', 'Sloper-Dan Milosevic', 'Who Killed The Kennedys' and 'Opposition In Exile'.
A few odd classic problems were added by various other people with the most notable being Battle of the shirts by Gordon Low and L'homme obu (translates to'Rocket man' in French) by Fred Nicole.
